<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>A clothbound companion to Marina Abramovic's tribute to Maria Callas, a new performance that recreates the iconic opera diva's famous onstage death scenes</strong></p><p>An opera production conceived by the legendary performance artist Marina Abramovic (born 1946), <i>7 Deaths of Maria Callas</i> is a continuation of the artist's lifelong meditation on the female body as a source of both power and pain. Here Abramovic turns her focus to renowned opera singer Maria Callas, whose stunning soprano voice captivated audiences around the world in the mid-20th century. Though she remains one of opera's greatest singers, Callas' life was beset by struggle and scandal. Today, the opera diva is remembered for having been a figure of both talent and tragedy. <p/>Through a mix of narrative opera and film, Abramovic recreates seven iconic death scenes from the American-born Greek singer's most important roles--in <i>La Traviata, Tosca, Otello, Madame Butterfly, Carmen, Lucia di Lammermoor</i> and <i>Norma</i>--followed by an interpretive recreation of Callas' own death performed onstage by Abramovic herself. This clothbound volume serves as a companion to the live performance and provides insight into the conception, planning and execution of Abramovic's project, probing the many creative elements that make up this dynamic exploration of female suffering. </p>
